URC semi Bulls vs Leinster

[W32]

Surprisingly for me the bulls win. Very bulls like with lots of tactical kicking.. Goosen did well. None of the bulls forwards are in the springbok training group. The bulls 8 looks like a very good prospect

Edit: bulls players not considered for boks because of urc commitments

[W32]

Final will be Bulls vs Glasgow Warriors at Loftus. Both Irish teams seemed to be flat and uninspired today.

Money's got to be in the bulls. I think it shows that for all the bad mouthing, winning SR is a harder task. SA winning percentages much higher in URC, and it will be 2 champs out of three attempts (with the proper teams) if the bulls take this, I think

[W32]

I will say that Leinster and Munster are pretty good teams, Ireland has been either #1 or #2 in the world for quite a while now. Earlier this year the Bulls were thrashed by Leinster.....Super Rugby used to be the premier franchise competition but I think better rugby is being played in the NH now.

I think the NZ sides were far better with the travel factor - though they did have years of practice. The current SA URC sides aren't great but Leinster etc struggle to play in SA.
